He couldn't write it down as a defect though.. Because technically it wasn't one. Just can't believe how horrible it looks when the sun goes down and internal lights are switched on. The general manager offered to come back when I'm more settled in to the house to ensure I'm completely satisfied with my home.... But post handover I will have all my things in there so it's not going to be easy to fix up, and obviously a chance that they'll just ignore the situation. He said I should move in and out my own touch throughout the house which would make the ceilings lines less obvious...?!? So sick of fighting with this company!!! Re: Final handover for new house but still unhappy with ceil 6Jul 09, 2015 7:35 am Can you not get one of them to just come out in the evening? I know it's a bit of a hassle for them but just insist it's the only time the defect is visible?

Unfortunately if the inspector says it's within tolerance, then there's not much you can argue with. Part of the issue is that you're expecting too much from a project builder. Champagne taste on beer budget. Within tolerance can be still a poor job as you know. A very hard pill to swallow. That's why I won't build with a project builder, mediocre quality at best especially with plastering and painting. Hopefully it won't bother you too much in future.

Play around and see if you can show us photos. Unfortunately that's going to be the only way I can help you with this especially because time is of the essence.
